Explanation of Student's T test:=20 =20 Start: "The _t-statistic_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-statistic) was = =20 introduced in 1908 by _William Sealy Gosset_=20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Sealy_Gosset) , a chemist working fo= r the _Guinness_=20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness) _brewery_=20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewery) in _Dublin_ (https://en.wikipedia.= org/wiki/Dublin) , _Ireland_=20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland) " (Student was his _pen name_=20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen_name) ) [A fascinating story]=20 =20 The Student's t test is widely used in medicine and elsewhere to determine = =20 the effectiveness of new procedures - whether one medicine, procedure, or= =20 treatment, etc. is better than a control or the "old way." A t test value= =20 of 1.0 =3D identical results; values from 0.999 to 0.051 mean the two=20 comparisons are similar, or you can't be sure the values are different or = that=20 your new idea is working. But a value of 0.05 level or smaller is a positive result that the compared= =20 entities are different - or that the new procedure is working, etc. =20 So in discussing the relative weights of [96] 1783 and [165] 1785 Novas,= =20 I took my data from pages 141-44, note 186, and Table 5.5 From Crime to=20 Punishment. =20 Quote "The important thing to note is that these nine varieties of Nova=20 coppers were not consistently struck from the same planchet stock. Absence= of=20 a homogeneous weight suggests no common weight standard with the=20 1783-dated group being significantly heavier that the 1785 varieties."=20 =20 See Table 5.5, [copied below] where I asked statistically two questions=20 about 1785 4-D. First: whether the average weights of 1785 4-D [124.52 =C2=B1 7.37] is si= milar=20 to the three in the 1783 group, [123.69 =C2=B1 10.70.], Answer: Student=E2=80=99s T test: p =3D 0.72;=20 p means probability. Answer: First Question:=20=20 =20 That means that there are 72 chances in 100 that 1785 4-D and all of 1783= =20 Nova are the same weight. [Read ?? maybe the same planchet stock,] = =20 Second question: whether 4-D, 124.52 =C2=B1 7.37, was similar in weight t= o=20 other five 1785-dated varieties, [115.0=C2=B16.8] Student=E2=80=99s T tes= t: p =3D 1.7 x=20=20 10-9. Answer - Student=E2=80=99s T test: p =3D 1.7 x 10-9.=20 That means that the likelihood of the average weights of the single 1785=20 group 4-D being similar to the other five 1785 varieties is 0.00000000017= =20 chances.

It does definitely "feel" like something is going on, with 2-A, 4-C and=20 5-E showing up as undertypes, while 2-B (83) and 3-B don't. In the "Money"= =20 note, you mention that 4-D is the rarest Nova. I believe that 2-A and 4-C= =20 are the rarest of the non-1786 varieties. I also think that 1-B (85) may = be=20 scarcer than 4-D.
